Key points

  • 4 lengths: 100 to 200 cm for all opening widths
  • Douglas fir or Fir: superior natural durability of Douglas fir outdoors
  • 91x21 mm cross-section: compatible with the entire Woodup fence and gate range
  • Sold individually: precise calculation based on the number of rails required
  • Cut to exact length: solid wood easily machined on site

Installation advice

For a standard fence, place one rail 10-15 cm from the bottom and one 10-15 cm from the top. For heights> 80 cm, add an intermediate rail. Fix the boards to the rails with stainless steel screws 4x40 mm by pre-drilling. Make sure the rails are level before fixing the boards. On gates, also plan a diagonal brace to prevent warping under the weight of the leaf.

Maintenance and protection

Treat the rail before installation with an exterior wood stain or oil. Renew every 2 to 3 years. Douglas fir naturally silvers and remains stable without treatment. Fir requires regular maintenance to prevent accelerated decay in damp areas. Check contact areas with posts or boards annually.

Frequently asked questions

How many rails are needed for a gate of 120 cm in height?

Minimum two rails: one at the bottom at 10 cm and one at the top at 110 cm. For added rigidity, add a third rail at mid-height (60 cm) and a diagonal brace.

Can the 200 cm rail be used for a gate 200 cm wide?

Yes, the 200 cm rail corresponds exactly to this width. For a gate, plan for 3 rails per leaf along the height to ensure the rigidity of the whole structure.

Can the rail be cut to an intermediate length?

Yes. Solid wood is easily cut with a circular saw or mitre saw. Immediately treat the fresh cut with an end-grain sealant to protect the exposed cross-section.

What is the difference in durability between Douglas fir and Fir for this rail?

Douglas fir has a natural durability class 3 outdoors without ground contact, allowing it to last several years without treatment. Fir (class 3-4) is more susceptible to fungi and requires regular treatment in damp conditions.

Is this rail compatible with Woodup fence and gate kits?

Yes. It is sized to fit into all kits in the Woodup fence and gate range using the 91x21 mm cross-section.
